8/4 Mets(Maine) @ Cubs(Lilly) 2:55 P.M.(CT) FOX

[Brian]

can Jacque be 2 outs in one inning??

 

you mean, can he get two doubles in an inning ;)

 

yeah that was a typo ;)

[illiniguy]

hopefully maine throws double digit pitches this inning.

Yeah he did.

[Radar3454]

How many hate posts would have been made if JJ's screamer had knocked DeRo out for a few games?? :D

 

I thought the same thing -

[CubFanPhilly]

DERO!!!!

 

Ok lets stop now get back out there with 2 quick innings so we can assure we get this game into the bottom half of the 5th.

 

They'll probably stick it out for a long rain delay unless it becomes unplayable.

 

Id rather take the cheap 5 inning win myself lol

 

I'd take it.

[Soul]

I'm having difficulty understanding how it seems we really do much better against top pitchers than we do against marginal ones.

 

Is it my imagination? Seems like the junk punks us, but we do alright against the good ones.

[Keener98]

Good inning boys, now Lilly shut them down. Do not let them back in this game

Hamels kicked our arses.

That was a good inning. Now let's hold the lead and hope for the best against Glavine tomorrow.

How long is Joe Buck going to whine about the call at first base?

While Hamels did kill us I too think we do better against established ML pitchers than we do the crappy ones for whatever reason.

Til the cows come home.

If this holds up, Cubs will be responsible for 2 of Maine's 6 losses.

 

The Riot call i'll look at as make up for the blown strike out of Wright in the 9th yesterday.

[Keener98]

Anybody seen these shirts yet? Just bought one for the Aug 18th game vs the Cards,
